ordered ess tuning vt1-455 kit for my e46 m3. Roman at ESS was very helpfull and got me some deal, can't wait to get it.
does any one have some experience with s/c on e46 m3? i have 4:10 gears, planing to get toyo's r888 265/35/18 all around for my apex rims to be able to put down the power

Going supercharger for a track car is a mistake IMO. I track a lot and have no problems passing S/C M3's on the straights with my N/A M3. Superchargers (and all the hardware associated with it) get way too hot. The heat soak from WOT really bogs down your power and taxes fluids & ultimately longevity of the motor. They design these kits to work fine for the street, but not nearly enough cooling for constant track-thrashing.

I track a lot too, but I was feeling I need more power, with cooling u can use in hot days methanol/water cooling and big oil cooler. I already order kit, so ill see how it goes on the track. I seen few supercharged m3 and they was monsters on the track

+1 a good efficient intercooled setup with meth/water will keep that heak soak down.

Kit is installed and just load tune. Car start up from first crank and running smoother then stock. Taking the car today/tommorow for break in ride arond the city and after will push it to the limit hehe!!
I'll post some videos shortly

haha thought so, I saw this get installed as i work at the shop next door. Zee's a great guy that does fantastic work. Car sounded great when it was running after the install. Where will you be tracking it?
